How we handle window mastic in Hareshaw
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include rushed sealant from a window installation and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Hareshaw depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In an older home around Hareshaw, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

Common problems we fix in Hareshaw
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Managing a site like Brannock High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Hareshaw depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What window mastic looks like in Hareshaw
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Cleland station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Local landmarks in Hareshaw
Hareshaw’s nearest station is Cleland station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Murdostoun Castle (2.4 miles south-east) and Cleland Hospital (1.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Baron's Haugh RSPB Reserve and Allanton House lake.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Your questions about window mastic in Hareshaw
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cleland station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Hareshaw?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Hareshaw is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
